I watched Raiders Of The Lost Ark last night -A shitty, Chinese bootleg copy that I threw out this morning. That movie still has one of the best endings ever. It got me thinking about whether to go see the new flick, Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Crystal Skull (I’m skeptical of the Crystal Skull part –A gold monkey maybe, but a Crystal Skull? Who would believe that?)
So far the reviews have been pro and con. Some say it’s good to see Indiana back in action, and that the humor is there that made the first three so much fun. While others say the film shouldn’t have been made. As long as people say it’s not terrible, then I’ll probably go see it. I don’t understand how it could be so bad if it’s Steven Spielberg directing. He’s like the pizza of directors! Seriously though, the guy is pretty much a genius when it comes to making entertaining films for America. I don’t think he can make an absolutely terrible movie. Some may be less enjoyable than others, but they’re never completely unwatchable.
It’s just great that he fights the Nazis in all these movies. I didn’t see the Temple of doom, but I’m sure that it was missing the Nazis. Nothing is better than watching a guy in a cowboy hat and a whip, clad in leather, spanking those stupid Nazis. Who’s your daddy? INDIANA!!!
We cooked last night as well, making chicken over rice with some beans on the side. Pretty easy to make and really delicious (just remember to mix the rice or it may stick to the bottom of the pot). We threw garlic and onion into some olive oil for the chicken and it added some really good flavors. Jeff basically took over after the first ten minutes and it really came together nicely. The brown rice we made was Near East brand and was great with the beans on the side (black beans, but no gas today). Basically we had to have the chicken because it was defrosted and I asked a few people at work the best way to defrost and they said definitely either in the fridge, or leaving it out, but try to stay away from the microwave because it can cook it alittle or it may defrost it unevenly etc. One other thing you can do is soak the chicken in a bag in some cold water, but this won’t defrost it –it’ll just sorta speed the process up.
I also started an herb garden at work today. It’s not much (I just put the florescent light up) and it’ll take a little time, but so far everything is going as planned. It’s under my desk and I’ve only got one Sweet Basil plant, but I hope to get lots more. There are two pictures I will insert later. I will keep you guys updated with it’s progress.
